PHILLIPS coach Bob Hansen undoubtedly will check each member of his team before they take the court against Marshall Friday afternoon at Young in the Division I championship game of the Mayor`s Holiday Tournament.

When the two Chicagoland powers met Dec. 20, Marshall won 57-52 with the aid of a technical foul that was called on Phillips` Kim Jackson for wearing earrings.

The rematch was set up Thursday when Phillips (6-1) eliminated Young 70-60 and Marshall (7-0) ousted South Shore 57-44 in the semifinals. It will be Marshall`s eighth straight appearance in the finals.

Marshall, which lost to Young in the finals last year after stacking up six straight Mayor`s championships, sped to a 30-18 halftime lead and was never challenged by South Shore (5-3). Trinette Wright scored 14 points and Kim McQuarter added 12 to lead Marshall`s balanced scoring attack. Diana Vines had 26 points for South Shore.
